It’s just like the radical homos who won’t stop screaming and prancing their outrage until every last person on the earth declares the GLBT “lifestyle” to be virtuous: these “honorees” (and those who bestow the “honors”) enjoy the thrill of thumbing their noses at the Church by collecively declaring evil acts to be good.

This is much like the divorced man who remaries and expects the rest of the world to pretend that everything is hunky-dory and to play along with the facade, despite the fact that he broke his vow to remain with his first wife until death. The rest of us are somehow unfair SOBs if we question such a man’s integrity.

It seems to be purely political.
Catholic universities represent a certain type of legitimacy, authority, and consensus.
If a pro-abortion politician can get the faculty and administration of such a
university to give him (or her) an honorary doctoral degree, it becomes easier
to show up at election time demanding the Catholic vote.

Likewise, if the university is seen granting such degrees to popular politicians,
it appears more relevant, secular, and open-minded.

But you still have to wonder what does it really mean to the politician who rejects Catholic teachings.
